Coming off a pair of wins over Canton and Williamson, Head Coach Jason Fry and the Indians lost their last three regular-season games to finish 12-10 and take the No. 3 seed in the District 4 Class A playoffs.

“We had a great season this year overall,” says Fry, “but the end of the season didn't go as expected .. the whole team got the flu and we had to forfeit the shoot-out game with Troy and we weren’t able to fully practice for our home district game.” 

The Indians fell to Galeton in the first-round playoff game to finish 12-11 on the year. 

Eight of those wins came in CV’s first half of the season .. including a five-game streak where the Indians earned a pair of non-league wins over Austin and Campbell-Savona and beat league foes Wyalusing, North Penn-Liberty and Williamson. 

Senior Jordan Vargeson led the Indians in scoring with 14.6 points per game, going over 20 points four times, including a 36-point effort in a win over small school-foe Sayre. 

Lone junior Fletcher Good scored 9.2 points per game and senior Larsen Swimley added 9.1 points while both hit for double-figures in 10 games during the season. 

Senior Carter Ackley scored 5.3 points per contest and ended the season strong with 12 points per game in their final three, while classmate Kaden Cole had nine games with more than one 3-pointer and hit 25 total threes coming off the bench for CV.

CV went 7-3 in the small school, losing only to NTL-II champ Northeast Bradford twice and to Sayre once. 

“We had several comeback wins this year,” says Fry, “and wins by less than seven points. The boys never gave up or stopped believing they could win. It’s always nice to see all the hard work in the off-season pay off in the regular season.”

Fry is thankful for his senior-heavy team and the examples his upperclassmen set.

“My seniors always displayed heart and hustle,” says Fry, “ and several displayed great leadership to our younger players, showed their growth from the previous year and really laid the foundation for what this program will be in the future.”

Fry is hoping that example and the valuable playing time his underclassmen received .. including sophomores Joshua Teague, Parker Lee, Carsyn Kemp, Levi Stahli and Jacob Johnson .. will prove fruitful moving forward.
